Could anyone help me installing High Sierra on this system?I succesfully installed Sierra before on this system with help of Jake Lo (thanks!!), I just wondering if could High sierra possible to installed on this system?
Boot stopped at this. I'll attach my Clover folder and a picture from boot.
UEFI enabled, and for skylake I used IntelGraphicsDVMTfixup and IntelGraphicsFixup kexts. My bios is very limited and does not have any option to change dvmt prealloc or anything else.
Everything works fine on Sierra.Here is my system:

Acer Aspire V15 V5-591G-55TU

(Note: Bootpack works fine with another versions of 591G, for example: V5-591G-71K2, -764Z, -59PU, etc.)

Successfully installed High Sierra 10.13, 10.13.1, 10.13.3

Working:
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth with BCM94352z: (enabled with BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext, BrcmPatchRAM2, FakePCIID.kext, FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext, install them with Kext Utility or another kext installer) (Original WiFi is Qualcomm Atheros, unsupported but BT works)
Hand-off with BCM94352z
Full Graphics enabled on HD 530, HDMI, VGA.
ALC 255 Audio: (Internal Speakers, Internal Microphone, Headphone jack (microphone not tested) with layout-3 fix (you can use AppleHDAPatcher)
Ethernet Realtek 8168B/8111B
App Store, Messages, FaceTime, Siri, iCloud (native)
Integrated webcam (native)
3.0 USB (native)
Touchpad and Keyboard: Fn keys are good, the weird thing is the Brightness key. On my keyboard it's Pause Break:Br-up, Fn+F12:Br-dwn. (VoodoPS2Controller.kext)
Battery info: Install ACPIBatteryManager.kext with kext utility or other installer.
Sleep Mode: In High Sierra sleep mode not worked for me natively. Inject custom EDID to fix the blank screen after wake from sleep
See here for instruction (thanks black.dragon74 and Jake Lo !!)
Please add these 2 patches to ACPI\DSDT\Patches in your config.plist in order to avoid not responding applications after sleep: (added in "v5_591g_55tu_updated_CLOVER.zip")
HECI to IMEI

Before updating to a new version of High Sierra please update kexts to new versions to avoid kernel panics
Note: No need for "IntelGraphicsDVMTFixup.kext" so you should delete it.
Not working:
Original Wi-Fi: Qualcomm Atheros QCNFA344A unsupported, you need switch to BCM94352Z or just use a mini usb wifi dongle.
NVIDIA GTX 950M: Optimus not supported.
Card Reader: Unsupported
For WiFi:
You can choose an external USB wifi dongle (I used tp-link Archer T1U (5GHz support), Tp-link have official macOS drivers, you just need to install it
(OR)Replace your M.2 Qualcomm Card with a compatible BCM94352Z card (you will have hand-off Bluetooth too), just install the kext I wrote above
I'll attach my EFI folder for anyone who want to install High Sierra (acer_aspire_v5_591g_55tu_hs.zip).*REUPLOADED updated CLOVER folder, attached as "v5_591g_55tu_updated_CLOVER.zip" (uploaded to OSXLatitude forum, can't upload here).

I'm using High Sierra in Dual-boot with Windows 8.1. To do this in a clean install or with Windows installed first try my little minimal guide:

Dual-boot clean install (on one drive):1. Boot into your Mac installer, Create 2 partitions in GUID table (1 for Win (I used FAT32 but I think it's no matter what), 1 for Mac), 2. Install Mac, boot with your USB, *mount your EFI partition (use terminal or an EFI mounter app), create an EFI folder, copy the CLOVER folder I attached to the EFI folder, restart,3. Boot into your Win installer, Format the partition you created for Win, install. 4. Now, it's automatically booting into Windows. To use Clover open cmd in administrator, type:
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\CLOVER\CLOVERX64.efi
5. You're done! It will booting into Clover when you start the system, and you can select Win or Mac (or another OS if installed on a 3rd partition).

Dual-boot with Windows installed first (on one drive):If you already have Windows and you don't want to lose all your data there is a hope:You need bootable Mac Installer and a full system restore image (you can search for it).(You may see errors if your EFI partition is not 200 MB)1. Boot into your Windows, resize your partition or create one for Mac.2. Boot into your Mac installer and in Disk Utility format the partition you created.3. Restore from image: select your full system restore image.4. When it's finished restoring you just need to restart, then boot to the system with your usb.5. Do Step 2. from "*" from clean install dual-boot above. but KEEP "Microsoft" FOLDER IN IT!6. Do Step 4. from clean install dual-boot above.7. You're done! You can select your old Windows and your new macOS!(I only tried with Windows 8/8.1/10. I don't know Windows 7,etc.)

IF YOU GETTING ERRORS DURING MAC RESTORE:
Make sure you have partitions in GPT
The best version for restore method is Windows 8.1. It's using 200 MB EFI. Windows 10 using 100 MB EFI and will annoy the Mac restore. You can use with Windows 10, just ignore the errors
IF YOU GETTING ERRORS DURING WINDOWS INSTALLATION (could not be formatted, etc):
Make sure you have GPT partitions, and GPT installer
IF YOU USED RESTORE METHOD THEN CAN'T MOUNT YOUR EFI PARTITION (No EFI partition found)
It's because your EFI is not 200 MB or not an "Apple" original EFI, but do not worry, try another EFI mounter, or mount from terminal (I used EFI mounter v3: Getting errors, but you can mount and use without problem)
You also could "mount" the EFI from windows, for that open cmd and type:
diskpart
list vol (Now select the "System" volume,(FAT 32) For example I select 4)
sel vol 4
list part (Select System type partition, for example 2)
sel part 2
assign letter=b (This will "mount" your EFI partition, to manage files download totalcmd or explorer++ (run as admin))
remove letter=b (This will "unmount" your EFI)
Here is a video from dual-boot with Windows installed first (on one drive):

Here some pictures:

I have browsed thru all forums and all threads for this card but apparently my system is still something special. With some cumbersome effort (none of the simple one-click ##### and other USB-Installers methods ever worked for me) I managed to install Sierra 10.12.5. However when booting is nearly finsihed I get the famous black screen which can be recovered by quickly unplug/plug the DP monitor cable leading finally to a proper initialisation of my 290X.

1.) RadeoDeInit is on, without this patch the screens stays dark forever2.) Booting with iGFX never works for me, I always get memory allocation errors during boot until I disable the Intel graphics completely.3.) I am on Clover 4318, newer version do not make any differences.
4.) I am using a System Configuration for an Imac 14,2. Most other configs do not make difference either.

I have not started again the nightmare of Framebuffer patching (as I remember from Yosemite) and I think it will not help as the card is recognised by Sierra but just not initialised.

I currently use an NVidia 760 with four displays: 1 x 4K; 2 x 1920x1200; 1 x 1920x1080. This mostly works, but I am considering replacing it with an AMD GPU - likely a Radeon 7970 - for two reasons:
I would like to add a fifth monitor, maybe even a sixth; I get small stutters and slowdowns with my NVidia, using both Native and NVidiaWeb drivers. It is a lot better than it was with my NVidia 980Ti, but it's still not perfectly smooth as it should be, especially when I have a full screen video playing while also doing UI movements like Swipe Left A Space or Mission Control.
I have just been told that it should be possible to access all display outputs on an AMD 79XX GPU, possibly requiring a custom SSDT and/or radeonDeInit? I've only ever had one AMD GPU and that was 8 years ago so I am not experienced with them. My NVidia 980Ti has five outputs, but can only use four at once. But I believe AMD's EyeFinity does allow it to use them all as separate displays.

Before I buy the GPU, I'd be most grateful if anyone could confirm that it should be possible to run five or six simultaneous displays on a card such as the ASUS HD 7970 DirectCU II (6 x DP outputs) or XFX AMD Radeon HD 7970 (2 x mini-DP; 1 x HDMI; 2 x DVI). With one display being 4K @ 60fps and the rest 1920x1200 or 1080P.

I have Googled on this a while but haven't yet found anyone discussing connecting more than four monitors to an AMD Hack I did see that the late-2013 Mac Pro (which uses 2 x AMD FirePro GPUs) states it can support "up to 6 Thunderbolt displays". So I know the OS can do it, it's just a question of whether a particular GPU can, and in a Hack setup.

Hi guys, i'm trying to help a friend of mine trying to install osx(possibly high sierra) on his pc with the following specs:

Amd fx8350
Asrock 990fx extreme 3
8gb of fury Kingston ddr3 ram(2x4)
Radeon hd 7950
128gb ssd( crucial m550)
A couple of hdds I don't remember the brand(maybe a seagate barracuda and a dumb old disk for data)
We tried to install it using the regular clover+high showers installer but we couldn't get it to reach the installer, then we tried osx-amd(don't know if i can talk about it there, sorry if i can't) and we still couldn't get to the installer.
Is there a guide i can use to install osx in that machin, i tried to search in the forum but i couldn't find it.

Hi Guys,
I’m stuck with 3mb VRAM, and can’t get my screen resolution! I’ve tried to reinstall 18 times with different configurations but I can’t seem to get it right! PLEEEEASE HELP I really don’t know what to do now. I've tried Enoch but still no success!

Hey, I'm not dead, I've moved over to using the nickname "Mr. Xtreme", and mostly use Linux distros/Windows 10, though it seems I'm gonna have to hackintosh again, so, hey everyone who remembers me! :wave:
